Rugs N Floors currently has one sign that says “RUGS” and the applicant is requesting a second sign on the storefront that says “FLOORS”. The Gateway Plaza Phase I Conditional Sign Permit defers to the sign ordinance regarding number of signs, and Sign Ordinance No. 704-C allows one sign per street frontage per tenant with a maximum of two signs total. The specific variance requested is as follows: Sign Regulation Current Regulation Proposed Sign Number of Signs One per street frontage; Two per street frontage; two two total total ACTION NEEDED: Consider variance request.
